Santa will welcome the children and give all of them an op-
portunity to whisper in his ear regarding their dreams and desires
of what they hope to find in their Christmas stocking or under
the tree on Christmas morning.
Such a search, pursued by an unadvertised, untold service of
relief and comfort will answer the Important question And with
the answer will be merged Joyful tears and smiles and happy
heart-throbs
Here is an accepted answer The search for some destitute
family; for some mother in dire distress; for some hungry, under-
privileged. unhappy child; for some invalid needing help and en-
couragement
After the Santa Christmas party at the courthouse there will
be ample time for parents to visit the stores and see the fine
stocks of holiday gift merchandise on display

• JIMMY HOFFA—The embattled president of the icamster
union isn't saying much about it, but he plans to wreak h
vengeance on some unsuspecting politicans who are seeking tl
presidency and other high offices.
Hoffa firmly believes that the labor reform law Congre
passed this last session was aimed directly at him and n
union and. his friends say, he doesn't plan to take it lyir
down. Hoffa's principal target seems to be Democratic pres
dential hopeful Senator John Kennedy of Massachusetts.
Hoffa's not only mad at Kennedy, but at his younger brothi
as well, who gave him such a rough time at the labor-racketee
ing hearings where the young Kennedy served as counsel.
The rough-and-tumble Teamsters' leader finds it easy enoug
to list his political enemies but is finding it tough to uncovi
someone he can support. But 1.600,000 Teamster members ar
their families are no small bloc as politics go, and the Teamstel
are a political force to be reckoned with in the 1960 nation!

Stevenson told Butler he wanted him to stay on and furthe

indicated he would prefer another man.
A meeting of the national committee actually adopted I
resolution "prohibiting" Butler from submitting his resignation

WYASHINGTON — Apparently the Democrats are going
W have to start looking for another personality to wield (
gavel at their 1960 national convention. Sam Rayburn, venera
Speaker of the House, has virtually read himself out of the ri
he has played at the last three conventions.
He has done this by making himself the leader of a mot
ment in Texas and elsewhere to win 1
Democratic presidential nomination for s
Lyndon B. Johnson, his fellow Texan and S
ate Democratic leader.
Tradition and practical politics call for
impartial chairman to conduct the conv
tions at which the two major parties pi
their Presidential candidates. Sam would i
want to besmirch his past record in this
any more than his rivals would want to
a partisan in the job.
After the 1956 convention in Chicago, Ri
burn expressed a desire to step down fn
_____ the highly-honored but fatiguing post. A
Sam Rayburn parently, he's made certain that he won't
drafted by backing Johnson.
But the Democrats will have to go a long way before they fi
a chairman as genial, fair and yet firm as the 77-year-
bachelor.
